Do you have any tips for my flight to Katavi National Park?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Katavi National Park could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Katavi National Park?
It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Katavi National Park, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
